A Dhia, thoir dhuinn na gràsan Bhith cuimhneach cò tha’n làth’r; Bhith cuimhneach air an Iobairt A thairg Thu uair do Bhàis ’S ionann là a’ cheusaidh Is Aifreann Naomh an àigh; ’S ionann Uan nan Iobairt, Mac Mhoire mhìn nan gràs Tha sinne ’n seo gud adhradh ’S gud mholadh mar as còir Gu taing thoir dhut, ’s gur lìonmhor Na gibhtean chuir thu oirnn Tha sinne ‘g iarraidh tròcair Mun dìtear sinn sa mhòd - Gabh truas ri peacaich bhochda ’S an anmannan fo bhròn.

O God, give us the graces To be mindful of who is present Be mindful of the Sacrifice Which you offered at the hour of your death The day of the crucifixion is the same as The Holy Mass of joy; The Lamb of sacrifice is the same as The Son of fair Mary of the graces We are here in order to praise you And to worship you as is the right thing to do To give you thanks, because plentiful Are the gifts that you have bestowed upon us We are wanting mercy Before we are condemned in the court Take pity on a poor sinner And the souls who are sorrowful
